Manual NewDotNet foistware removal
WARNING WARNING WARNING

If you have experienced problems with the new.net uninstall using Add/Remove Programs, it is recommended that you contact New.Net tech support for assistance. The information below is provided FOR REFERENCE ONLY, and could make things worse instead of better. Do not attempt unless you are a guru and willing to accept the possibility of your computer losing Internet access, and hold New.Net and CEXX.ORG harmless for any results.

WARNING WARNING WARNING



This procedure from New.Net techs is intended to manually restore your previous Winsock settings. Do not use without advising by New.Net support.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CurrentControlSet\Serv
ices\WinSock\Parameters.
You should see 2 folders, "NameSpace_Catalog5" and "Protocol_Catalog9". Click the small "+" (plus) signs next to both of them.
Inside both folders, you should see a "Catalog_Entries" folder. Within each of those folders are numbered folders (i.e. 000000000001,000000000002, etc.)

For the "NameSpace_Catalog5" numbered folders:

A. First, make note of how many folders there are
B. Highlight the first one
C. On the righthand side, locate the line "Library Path"
D. In that line, the rightmost column should begin with something similar to "C:\windows" or "%SystemRoot%".
E. Locate any of the numbered folders that read "C:\windows\newdotnet2_90.dll" or similar in the "Library Path" line
F. Delete each of those folders referring to "newdotnet"
G. Rename each numbered folder so that they are all consecutive. For example, if there were 4 folders and you deleted 2 of them, you will need to rename the remaining folders "000000000001" and "000000000002".
H. Do this by right-clicking the folder name, left-click Rename and then type in the new number (be absolutely sure you don't delete any of the zeros).
I. Next, highlight the "NameSpace_Catalog5" folder on the lefthand side.
J. On the right, locate the "Num_Catalog_Entries" line. At the end of this line is a number in parentheses.
K. Edit that number by doing the following:
i. Double-click "Num_Catalog_Entries"
ii. In the small pop-up window, select "Decimal"
iii. Edit the value of the number on the left to reflect the number of remaining folders (in the case of the example in #7 above, you would enter 2)
iv. Click OK

For the "Protocol_Catalog9" numbered folders:

A. First, make note of how many folders there are
B. Highlight the first one
C. On the righthand side, you will see a line beginning with "PackedCatalogItem". Double-click on that word and a small window will pop-up.
D. In the "Edit Binary Value" window, several columns appear with numbers and letters. In the last column appears a path that will look something like, "C:\WINDOWS\NEWDOT~.DLL" or "%SystemRoot%" followed by a long list of characters.
E. Locate the numbered folders that indicate "C:\WINDOWS\NEWDOT~.DLL" in the "Edit Binary Value" window described above and DELETE each of them.
F. Rename each remaining numbered folder so that they are all consecutive. For example, if there were 13 folders and you deleted 2 of them, you will need to rename the remaining folders "000000000001" through "000000000011".
G. Do this by right-clicking the folder name, left-click Rename and then type in the new number (be absolutely sure you don't delete any of the zeros)
H. Next, highlight the "Protocol_Catalog9" folder on the lefthand side.
I. On the right, locate the "Num_Catalog_Entries" line. At the end of this line is a number in parentheses.
J. Edit that number by doing the following:
i. Double-click "Num_Catalog_Entries"
ii. In the small pop-up window, select "Decimal"
iii. Edit the value of the number on the left to reflect the number of remaining folders (in the case of the example in #6 above, you would enter 11)
iv. Click OK
K. Close the Registry Editor. Your changes will be automatically saved.
L. Restart your computer and then try accessing the Internet as you would normally.
